Why do we "fear" Death?

Death is the easy part.

To finally taste the true death will be a relief, I expect.
 
Death is the last refuge, the final comforter. Death is friendly to those who have died.
 
Anyone who is afraid of Death I advise to read or be read On a pale horse by Piers Anthony.
 
In ancient and modern times the God of the Dead was and is beloved and worshipped by tens of millions of people.

No, LS. Just woke up in the hospital and realized a bit later that I was dead. Didn't tell anybody at the time. My parents came to visit, distraught but glad that I had survived, but I knew that I had not.

Status: offline 		Beside an imbedded belief that My death will be siomply a "Rite of Passage" to the next stage of my development, I lost any fear of death after the first time I was medivaced with less that 12 hours to live. After four more times of similar occurances I see Death and an old friend who will collect me and transport me to the place where the Northern lights touch the ground and I can be embraced by the spirit of the Great Bear.....

Status: offline 		It's not death that people fear,it's the unknown. Thats why they make up tails of an after life with 70 virgins, or a kingdom in the sky or that some part of you goes on, just in a different form. It's hard for some to think that maybe this is all there really is. And nothing anyone can do will change it.

Status: offline 		I am not afraid of death, I am just not crazy about the unknown.  I have  studied different religions trying to satisfy myself in this area.  I don't really like the idea of reincarnation, but I am open that it might happen.  My faith teaches hell, and I admit I am not fond of that specific place and ending up there. 
 
I would like to think, that I will feel free.  That I will see my loved ones that have passed again, and continue to live, only on a different plain than I do now.  I know there is something more, I have witnessed it, so there is no doubt.  I think it's just like anything we can't see or touch ourselves, there comes a bit of uncertainty with it.
 
I used to have panic attacks about it, but those are gone.  If I feel one coming on, I reach inside, pray, and calm myself back down.  This is one thing, really the only thing in life that cannot be changed.  It's a waste of my precious and brief time on this earth, being concerned about it.

Status: offline 		I don't fear death, I don't attribute spirituality to it, I don't know what happens, and I'm not about to waste my living days researching something which no one really knows anyway.

And for all of you who say, "Yeah, but near death experiences..." I ask you this:  They did not die, they just came damn close. There obviously was some spark of life left.  When that spark goes out, what's next?

Yours,


benji
